Yeah, I know its Sunday! But its only today that I have managed to look at the review section of yesterdays Guardian and I thought I’d like to share the Saturday Poem by Jean Mambrino with you:

Rain refreshes the shadows,

makes the points of the leaves glitter,

as the sun threads its way

between the drops. Earth perfumes itself

afresh, takes on the colour

of the gilded sunset.

Catch this moment to offer it,

consecrate it. For the mind

effaces scents from memory,

which reflects only the meaning

of what was offered you,

the prayer of what is over.
